Many people don’t understand that the military functions under different laws and rights than ordinary civilian life. This often bites lower ranking soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen in the backside when they pull a stunt like this. When you’re in uniform, you are *required* by military regulation to stand, face the colors, and salute when outside. You don’t have a right to free speech when in uniform, as well as a great many other restrictions. Hopefully, the Captain’s Mast will provide this sailor with some perspective on the limits she must live under, and the XO can pull her aside later and correct her misinformed status.

As an Army brat growing up, when the cannon went off at 1800hrs, you stopped, got out of your car, and faced the main post flagpole as retreat played over a big PA system and the flag was lowered. There was no question. This was as a civilian dependent.

This woman needs some fast serious disciplinary action.

This scumbag needs to be kicked out of the Navy under a dishonorable discharge.
